    Here are some pictures for you

    That's amazing! I'm not really a Dyson recommender (apart from the first Dyson DC01 from 1993/5) but that looks special! It's like all your life, you've only been able to get toy Dyson vacuum cleaners that reflect those early models from the late '90s, and now you actually have a real one...

    Hoover Concept One U3311 question

    Well... I'm pretty sure the Concept was an American series. If you take a look at some of those American vintage Hoovers, they usually came in more attractive colours like Summer Blue or whatever. Even though they were branded the same as in the UK, for some strange reason most of their model...

    Home air quality rants

    That's pretty interesting! When you mentioned water filtration, the Rainbow SE went right into my head. If you watch HooverLux on YouTube, there is a video on that channel about the Rainbow SE UK version being used in a full house cleaning process. And from what I've seen, there are no bags...

    What really are stick vacuums?

    Over these past few months I have been thinking thoroughly about expensive vacuum cleaner features and how people think they can turn magically into something else. And you'll see what I mean when I talk about what we come to know as 'sticks'. A stick vacuum usually comes with straight suction...

    'Say Goodbye To Big Corded Vacuums'

    I agree with all of you! It's just awkward, not to mention it was GTECH who invented cordless first. At least you might know that if you're from the UK. I've used the v10 before in Currys PC World, and as far as business goes, it's not about the money. It's the product. At around £400, I...

    Maytag Satellite/Hoover Constellation - I want one!

    Wait a minute... Before I mention a point about the Maytag Satellite, ryry_87, are you the guy who did a channel named U5096? I just saw your name and your link to a video! I could be wrong, just had to let that out. Anyway, if I ever had a Maytag Satellite vacuum cleaner that would be great...

    The right kind of crazy...

    Maybe you could save up for this... but only if you can get it in your area. Vorwerk! They have a German background and they have released their Kobold system which consists of a bagged stick/upright unit which you can get various floor tools for to keep your floors healthy and clean. It's...

    I think I’m sticking to bagged

    Good idea. I like bagged vacuum cleaners too. I don't want to have to keep up with too much maintenance all the time, it just gets out of hand. And we all know who to blame for bagless vacuum cleaners, don't we? Before I can get anymore obsessed with dodgy inventions, all I'll say is that was...

    What vacuum do you recommend for the car?

    It's completely opinion-based, to be honest. I would go for a cylinder vacuum for car cleaning, because an upright cleaner gets in your way easily, and a handheld unit is usually too bulky for cleaning in narrow areas that aren't adapted to be cleaned. I don't know if you have Numatic in your...

    Hoover Convertible With Type Q HEPA Bag Installed

    That is really amazing! It's amazing how you can just get something modern and put it into something old. It's a very complex but cool alternative to trying to find the original bag which to this day would be very rare. I will note, however, that I'm confused! Not by how you did this process...

    What is the worst vacuum from the past 20-ish years?

    Hoover itself! I'm really frustrated at Hoover right now. They really did follow that idiotic theory of 'Everything that could be invented has been invented'. They made ads in the 90s saying they were 'proud' to say they were updating their products to fit the modern era. They should have...

    What's your opinion on the Hoover Purepower?

    Does it seriously have those awful squeegees? My father has a Hoover Whirlwind vacuum at home, and that has real noticeable squeegees on the bottom, with NO height adjustment. The suction is really heavy so you have to life the cleaner with both hands for easier pushing. It also means the brush...

    My 1st Vacuum from the 60’s!!!☮️❤️🌼🌸✌️

    That is a special present for you! Way over here in the UK, we knew the Dial a Matic as the Convertible, and the US Convertible was the Senior in the UK. Because if there's a Junior, surely there's a Senior... I like the power input of 840w, and it seems like it's quite powerful from what you...

    What's your opinion on the Hoover Purepower?

    I just wondered what other people thought about the Purepower series from Hoover, rather than just hearing from myself. I'll give you my view first. Personally I prefer the 2014 EU regulated model, which is the PU71 PU01001, because it is 750w in power input, and yep, I don't like vacuum...

    Bag/bagless observations

    It's so typical, isn't it? I can't stand bagless vacuum cleaners. They were introduced by a click-bait brand that should have waited till today, in which we have fleece bags. Here in my area we still have a few bagged uprights, for example the Sebo Felix series, the Sebo Automatic, the Miele...

    Why are tub style vacuums and carpet cleaners not popular in US?

    That's pretty interesting! I think cylinder (tub-style) carpet washers aren't as popular in your area because they don't come with a source of agitation, which is what those upright ones have, for instance brush rolls. Here in the UK, there was a brand named Ovation who did a cylinder...

    My early birthday present

    That is a pretty good set of images! I find it very funny seeing so many crevice tools! At first I thought you got a vacuum but then I realised they were just parts, hence why they come from so many vintage brands! Also, love the old-style cardboard boxes!
